Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 64 :: Hadith 274

Narrated Ali:

Fatima went to the Prophet complaining about the bad effect of
the stone hand-mill on her hand. She heard that the Prophet had
received a few slave girls. But (when she came there) she did not
find him, so she mentioned her problem to 'Aisha. When the Prophet
came, 'Aisha informed him about that. 'Ali added, "So the Prophet
came to us when we had gone to bed. We wanted to get up (on his
arrival) but he said, 'Stay where you are." Then he came and sat
between me and her and I felt the coldness of his feet on my
abdomen. He said, "Shall I direct you to something better than what
you have requested? When you go to bed say 'Subhan Allah'
thirty-three times, 'Alhamdulillah' thirty three times, and Allahu
Akbar' thirty four times, for that is better for you than a
servant."
